NIHI SUMBA ISLAND
WORLD CLASS RETREAT
NIHI Sumba, located on one of Indonesia’s most remote islands, has developed into a world class retreat catering to honeymooners, families and adventure enthusiasts alike.
Its rich tropical rainforest, the whiteness of the beaches, the inexorable rolling motion of the gentle Indian Ocean, the green rice paddies and swaying grasslands.
You’ll also have time to meditate on the nature of mankind as you immerse yourself in Sumba’s wild festivals, the ancient animist rituals and Stone Age sites that are such an important part of this far-flung island. Not to mention the modern day luxuries and natural beauty of NIHI Sumba itself – the thinking person’s paradise.

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”
From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
“EXCELLENT HISTORICAL TRIP”
A smooth and personalised booking process as always. The itinerary included clear documentation and a series of fascinating, off-the-beaten-track tours, all delivered with a thoughtful and personal touch.
“SEAMLESSLY ORGANISED, TRULY UNFORGETTABLE”
The itinerary was spot on. Claire really listened and understood the kind of holiday I wanted – from the hotels to the pace of the trip. The team on the ground were exceptional: friendly, efficient, and always one step ahead, helping with everything from flight check-ins to tax-free procedures at the end. The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. I had an amazing time. Thank you!
